This is so interesting–I love this post! I love how you identify potential causes of dishonesty. As with any character flaw, to keep a reader engaged, it helps to have a level of understanding as to why a character might have turned out a certain way.

Great suggestions at the end!

I'm writing a dishonest character at the moment, so this helps.

I love dishonesty – and I go to church! Secrets, lies, betrayals – love them all. And then you had to go and paste in my favorite guy of all times. Jack/Johnny!

I like this one! And isn't it true, that dishonest people will change only when they've figured things out and not because someone has shown them the light? At leave I've found this to be true :)

Great post.

This is awesome! I love the idea of making an seemingly innocent person be dishonest. How fun.

Awesome post Angela. I’ve got some very trustworthy pirates in my WIP, it’s nice to know I’m breaking a cliche.

A perfectionist liar. I'd love to see that!

Ange, you picked this trait just so you could talk about pirates, didn't you? I'll be sure to leave all the zombie-related traits for you, too.
